' This invention relates to new provements "in necktie racks.

One object of the invention is the provision of i a necktie rack having a large number of tie supports arranged `along a pair of centrallyldisposed parallel bars, the bars being mountedfor swinging-movements on a wall or the like and the said tie supports Aloeing mounted on the parallel bars for parallel swinging movements.`

Another object of the invention is to mount said parallel bars so that the same are swingable through an angle of 90, that-is from a position parallel `with the saidwall tov a position atright angles to the wall. f Y I Still another object of theinvention is to constructand arrange each Saidtie support so that thesame provides separately engageable means for two ties. l

Aifurther `object of the invention is to mount said tiesupports onsaidba-rs so that `whenthe latter are positioned at right angles to saidwall the supports are at right angles thereto, butfinA moving the bars to the position in'which theyare parallel with the wall theisupports swingeach to a position almost parallelfwith thebars.

For further comprehension of the invention;`

and ofthe objects and advantages thereof,` reference Will loe had to the Vfollowing description and accompanying drawings, and to the appended claims in `whi`chthe various novel features of the 30 invention are `moreparticularly setforth;

In the accompanying drawings forming a material part of this disclosure:

Referring now to the drawings whereina preferred form of the invention is illustrated, the reference numeral I 0 indicates a bracket secured is foreshortened as at I4 for clearance by bolts to a wan l2 or the like. Asbest shown in Figs. l, 2, 5 and 6, the bracket Iii includes `a-` pair of parallel plates I3` projectinghorizontally therefrom. One outer corner of each plate I 3 plllDQSe as? can be understood from Figs.` 3 and 4.

Mounted between the plates I3 are the ends of i a pair of parallel bars I5 and I6 adapted to he swung in parallel relation to one another from* l2,` vsee Figs. 3 and 4,- toa position in which they are at right angles to said wall, Isee Figs. land 2. The bars I5 and I6 are of equal lengths but the inner ends thereof are arranged at different distances from the wall I2 in order top ermit the said swinging Vmovements* as presently will loecome apparent.l

'The' `bar I Bo, the onewhose end is farthest from the wall I2 in Figs. l, 2 and 6, is pivotedA on ag headed pin Il passing through the plates I3 and having its end flattened. The bar I5hasjsecured in its inner end a `knurled or serrated piti I8 having smooth portions passing through slots i 20 in the plates I3, seealso Fig. 6. Pin" IE is. of

course,` headed `atone end and flattened at the".

other. The slots 20 are arranged angularly 'so' that when the pin I8is engaged in the end there-` of farthest Vfrom wan l2 the said pin and pin'fli are arranged on a line at a 45 I2.` Thus the bars I5 and I6 through an angle of the pin I slots 20 to allow the full 90 motion.

can be swung."

angierrom wanl s suemginthe In order to faoiiitatepmovig the pars Island" I6 an upstanding post or finger piece 2| is'sef4 cured to the outer end of each. i f Q For supporting a plurality of'necktiesa series of support rods 22 aresecuredto the bars I5 and I6, each said rod extending an equal distance` from either bar and having either end turned up" as at 23,` seeFigs. 1, 2, 7,18and9; Nea'rfits Icenlg ter, each rod 22 has side arms "2:5 whichjare .eig-"l tended upward through openings 26 .in eachjbar" andis offset atanangle of 45, as at 24, Figs. 1f.v

and. Thus, when the bars I 5 and `I6 arearf.

ranged at right angles to wall I2 and the pivots thereof are on an angle of 45 .to saidwall, the.` rods22 are parallel with saidwall withtheirfl4 v offsets parallel With said pivots, see Fig. 1.

It will be seen, therefore, that when the parts are in the positions of Fig. 1, neckties can readily be hung on the rods 22. In the illustrated instance of the invention eighteen rods 22 are provided to accommodate thirty-six ties in an extremely small space.

When the ties have been placed on the rods 22, the bars l5 and IB are folded against wall l2, the rods 22 folding against the bars in such movement and locking the ties thereon by their proximity to one another, see Figs. 3 and 4. It l is'to be noted that in folding against the bars the offsets 24 of the rods 22 pass through their dead center position.

When the parts are in the positions of Figs. 3 and 4, the ties are locked on the rods 22 and the whole hanger occupies a minimum of space.

It will be seen, therefore, that there has been provided a hanger capable of supporting a large number of ties in a minimum amount of space.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment of my invention, it is to be understood that I do notl limit myself to the precise construction herein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes and modications" coming within the scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by United States Letters Patent is: Y
